Abstract

A device for displaying the number of rounds remaining in a firearm magazine is disclosed. The device may include a digital counter with a voltage source. A voltage may flow from the from the digital counter, through a magazine connection, and to a follower conductor in the magazine. The follower conductor may contact binary coded conductive strips, which may return a binary representation of the number of rounds in the magazine to the digital counter.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE[0001]1. Field of the Present Disclosure[0002]The present disclosure is directed to a device and system for electronically counting the number of rounds remaining in a firearm magazine and, optionally, displaying the number on a digital display.[0003]2. Related Art[0004]Currently, there is no easy or convenient method to determine the number of rounds remaining in a firearm magazine while holding the firearm in a firing position. A mechanical counter may be added or integrated into the magazine, but checking a mechanical counter requires a shooter to look away from his sights and / or target to check the round count. Other current methods and systems for determining the number of rounds in a magazine require the shooter to lose his sight picture, physically check the magazine, or otherwise disrupt his stance or position.SUMMARY OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE[0005]The present disclosure provides a system for electronically counting the number of rounds in...
